hey, i am going to try to help Ksass (tearCatcher) to black out his grille. with my previous experience on my volkswagen, i sanded down the grille then primered it then resprayed it with a gloss black....would it be fine to do this to his tC?

The stock tC grille is plastic, so I'm not sure that sanding it would work very well. Also, I'm not really understanding what you're trying to do, since our grille is already black.

lmao, maybe he means the emblem, in which case, sanding it would help.

I sure hope he means the Emblem.

If the part is plastic, VHT* Vinyl Dye might work (comes in a spray can). I've sprayed many plastic parts with this stuff and it doesn't peel off the way spraypaint will over time.

I just cleaned the area thoroughly with soap & water & then wiped all the residual soap film and dust with rubbing alcohol right before spraying. Looks great.

*Might come in other brands too, but this is the one I use. I like it because no sanding is required, and no peeling after 5 years...
